America's history of white race riots
I'm glad he said "at least not mobs of them" in the last paragraph, because white people have absolutely been wreaking havoc upon blacks in their communities. I think he could have worded that better to make that clear. Otherwise, I post this because I think it's important to remember this history.

The point of rehashing all of this, however, is not to engage in but another exercise of white guilt mongering. The point is threefold.
First, race riots are not synonymous with black riots. Historically, in America, there have been more white riots than there have been black riots, and in terms of sheer brutality, casualties, and brazenness, the former have made the latter look like temper tantrums.
Second, blacks are not naturally more (or less) violent than whites (or anyone else). The appalling amount of black violence that we witness today is a function of a cultural universe of values that is a relatively recent phenomenon, as far as history is measured.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, this little history lesson is a desperately needed cautionary tale: Just because whites, or at least mobs of whites, are not, in this day and age, known for wreaking havoc upon blacks and their communities does not mean that such things can’t or won’t happen in the future. The past could repeat itself if a tipping point is reached, for just as there is nothing within the nature of blacks as blacks that accounts for their rioting, so there is nothing within the nature of whites as whites that explains why they haven’t rioted in many decades.
